Re: A Windy Sunset
Lovely image. If you don't mind me suggesting, I wonder if it wouldn't benefit from a little dodging and burning? Perhaps a light vignette, and a subtle boost to colour. I know that sounds like a lot of criticism. It isn't supposed to! I really like the shot. I think you could take it to super extraordinary with a few comparatively light touches...

Re: A Windy Sunset
Really nice and a good example of why you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to delete images
I do agree with Richard re dodging and burning but suspect there may be noise in the dark areas that you'd want to leave there. A touch of light on some of the waves may add a nice bit of zing to it and a vignette divert attention away from the nicely coloured but relatively dull sky. But, as I say, really nice as it is.
Cheers,
John

Re: A Windy Sunset
John, much better IMHO, but I’ve only seen it on my phone. Will look again when I get home!Richard Anderson Photography at www.raphoto.me

Re: A Windy Sunset
Yes much better with texture extracted from the foreground rocks and some nice green in the waves. I still think a bit of vignette, especially to darken the top corners and bring the eye down to the real action, would work but you've still improved an already nice image
Cheers,
John

Re: A Windy Sunset
I agree with John - I would be tempted to push the vignette, do a bit more dodging and burning and maybe even make the colours pop a bit more:

I will take this down later today when you have seen it - I have almost certainly taken it further than you would like. I think sharpening the rocks adds to the overall feel as well.
John - PM me when you have seen this and I will take it down then.Last edited by rcarca; 13-12-2017, 18:52.Richard Anderson Photography at www.raphoto.me

Re: A Windy Sunset
Thanks Richard. Initially I wasn't too keen on the edit, finding it a bit too bright and saturated but having looked at it several times, have changed my mind and agree it is an improvement.
I'm happy for your edit to stay just in case any one else wanted to see it but if you prefer to remove it, that's fine
